A FEARFUL NoNsTRosITY.

Nebraska City, Eeb., Nov. 3d.
Lon Mann and John HUFF, wood
choppers, on returning from work
Saturday night last, discovered
that some one had made an attempt
to break open the door Of their
hut, and tracks in the fresh earth
about the place indicated that the
visitors had been there very re-
Gently. While Mann remained,
Huff went in search of the dopre-
dGtor, and having beaten about in
the brush and underground for
more than an hour in all directions
was about to give up his search
and return home when be stumbled
over the form of the most fright
full and hideous looking creature
that ever met the gaze Of human
eyes. He describes it as .undoulN-
edly Of human form in face and
body, but so frightfully doformed
as to leave only a faint resem-
blanee. The body, as far as he
could observe, was entirely naked
and black and rough. The head
bore q slight resemblance TO ne
gro, the eyes almost protruding
from their sockets, and'fangs stood
out from a horribly shaped mouth.
The monstrosity in loeomotion
used its feet, and what were un-
doubtedly its arms, from the ell
bows to where the hands should
have been, as fore feet. Tho two
men notified their neighbors and
together they followed the direc-
tion taken by the creature, but
gave up the hunt when night came
on without finding trace Of it.
Yesterday about twenty men re-
suned the hunt, following the trail
in the snow, which led to the river
whore it was lost It is thought
that the monstrosity was drowned
in an attempt to cross the river.
Mann came up to it once in the
brush, and when he attempted TO
capture it was severely bitten in
the arm.-Memphis Appeal

The following letter addressed
by the editor of this paper to a gen.
tleman who received the highest
number Of votes for the Legisla-
ture in a neighboring county, but
who was counted out on the mark
ed ticket device, will explain itself
oKOIOSA, Mss, Dec. S, 1887.
DEAR sn:-I have delayed ans
wering your letter longer than l
intended, because Of business en-
gagements. I am not prepared to
advise you as regards the course
you should persue, because l have
such q contempt for the techniali-
ties resorted 10 by the machine"
to defeat the will Of the people,
that my prejudices might lead to
advice which would be detrimental
to your personal interest. So far
as I am individually concerned I
do not hesitate to say, that shall
vote in the next Legislature to seat
the man, who received the highest
number ofvotos honestly cast and
fairly counted, no matter if it con-
fiicts with my individual preferen-
ces or the decision Of the Supreme
court in the Chalmers Lynch case.
The ballot law as construed in said
decision is an infamY and ought to
be repealed. The voice ofthe peo-
pie when clearly expressed should
be respected and no sharp practices
to defeat their will should be toll
Grated. Respectfully.

In Calhoun county, the Relief
elected its ticket by a large major
ity, but a threat was made to count
them out on account of irregulari-
ties in the size Of the ballots.
When this became known, a crowd
of $50 armed men went to Pitts
boro and demanded that certificates
of election be issued to the success
full candidates. 1t was dOno.-KOs-
ciusko Star.
Our contemporary of the Star
hasn't learned the true state of the
matter. The tickets were of the
proper width, but had dash rule
under the heading; from two to
three hundred citizens assembled
in the town, having learned that a
mandamus was to be served on the
commissioners to force them to re-
count the ballots, and throw all
out upon which the dash rule APP
peared, repaired to the court house
and there passed resolutions re-
questing that any such proceedings
be stopped. The crowd was order
ly to say the least, and ifany arms
were visible, the editor of this pa
per failed to see them. The COM
missioners issued certificates Of
election TO those who received the
highest vote, on the morning of
the day that the crowd spoken OF
assembled here Friday Nov. llth)
and by their expressions to US, we
are lead to believe that two of them
think they acted in accordance with
justice, not exactly in accordance
with the law. We have heard OF
but one man who demanded Of the
commissioners that they issue GER
tifcates to those receiving the
highest vote according to the re-
turns made, and we don't believe
these gentlemen would allow one
man to frighten all three Of them.
Again, the Democratic n ominees
for Circuit and Chaneery clerk
were elected by small majorities.

Somehow or other we cannot
avoid the conviction that Mr.. La
mar could have secured the APP
pointment of Senator George to
the Supreme Bench if he had wish
ed it to be so, and the fact that he
is posing for the position himself,
looks "a leetle" like he was will
ing to undermine George. Lamar
may be Georges superior as a
statesman, but there is no compar-
ison between the two men as law
yers, and if the Senate should re-
fuse to confirm the Mississippi
Statesman's appointment, not be-
cause he defended JEFF Davis, but
upon the grounds that he is no
lawyer, much as Mississippians
might regret the wound to State
pride, they would be forced to ad-
nit the justice of such action.

The Natchez Democrat suggests
the establishment of a Board Of
Agriculture in Mississippi which
is to consist ofa Commissioner of
Agriculture, the Governor, Secre-
tary Of State, and two "judicious
Agriculturalists." The Commits
sioner and the 'Judicious Agricul-
turalist" are to be appointed we
suppose by the Governor, and we
have no doubt the "Tombstone In
dustry," would furnish the materi-
al to fill out the Board with un-
parallelled alacrity. Such a com
bination, however, would be a bur-
lesque upon agriculture and would
prove a burden to the agricultural
lists, as dina former Agricultural
and migration Bureau establish
cd in this State, which expended
$4,000 Of the peoples money in
two years; more than half ofwhich
went to pay official salaries, aRd
our most actute mathmetician and
wisest statesman would be puzzled
to determine when, whore and
how the State was benefited to the
value Of twenty-five cents.
No no unless we mistake the
temper of the Legislature soon to
convene, there will be fewer, in.
stead of more offices to fill, when
that body a1journs, and the munif
icent salaries paid those necessary
to run the various departments of
government will be curtailed to
an extent which will possibly be
distressing 10 the ofics-holder, but
eminently satisfactory to the tax
payers.

The anticipated trouble in organ
izing the Senate Of the United
States on Monday no factious op-
position was made by the Repub-
licans in the case of the west Vir-
ginia Senatorship, and Senator
Turpte of Indiana, was sworn
in without objection. The SEN
ate stands 40 Republicans, 3s
Democrats, that is to count Rid
dleberger of IVA, with the majority.
But if that very erratic Statesman
should take it into his head to vote
with the Democrats, the two par
ties would be evenly balanced.
In the House there are 1853 Dem
ocrats, 15s Republicans, 2 Labor
and 2 Independents.
